[fadedrose]

[eleny]

1. How nice

:D

[HughMoran]

2. Arianna - I did a double-take when I turned it on

Her blog is used as a source in some of the news - doh!

[CTLawGuy]

3. I like Arrianna

but her voice is not good for television...

[pettypace]

4. She's horrrible

OMFG

[WyLoochka]

13. I think Arianna is great

since coming over from the dark side some years ago.

She's very intelligent, highly educated and a good writer who has done much to push the progressive movement forward over the past few years.

And I love her Greek accent.

5. It is a pretty big let down when expecting Rachel

[DCBob]

6. Maher is doing great. A voice of reason and optimism!

For now until Obama screws up.

[Gregorian]

7. "I'm a pie-eyed optimist until January 20th." YEAH!

:)

Maher, on our wonderful intermission between now and Obama's "real" days.

[liberalmuse]

8. I love what he said about the Clintons, because it's true.

It is the MSM and everyone else who is creating the drama. The Clintons are the most serious policy wonks this country has, and essentially boring. He's 100% right.

[DCBob]

9. Yes. That was well said.

[mollymongold]

10. Yes! Its dead on the truth. Someone get that on youtube, no life people just projecting on them.

[toshiba783]

19. It's on youtube

[eleny]

12. I agree!

[Renegade08]

16. They are policy wonks, but they are NOT boring.

They provide so much fodder for tabloid journalists and comedians - Monica Lewinsky, vast rightwing conspiracy, Paula Jones, "the meaning of is," Bill going rogue during the primaries, Bill unable to say Obama's name, Hill's assassination gaffe, Hill's embarrassing lie about landing under sniper fire in Bosnia, Hill's jaw-dropping non-concession concession speech when Obama clinched the nomination, and so on.

Before there was Palin, there were the Clintons.

17. You gotta luv 'em............ nt

[ecstatic]

11. I really want a baby now too

:shrug:

I regret that my future child wasn't around for Election night but hopefully s/he will be in 2012 :).

[yourguide]

14. Arianna is far better on the blogs

That was a disappointment.

[Clio the Leo]

15. I hope Barack makes it illegal for KO and Rachel.....

... to both be off on the same night.

Seriously, FIRST ACT in office.

[Hieronymus]

18. I feel your pain.

[symbolman]

20. Next time Maddow is gone

NO Huffington.. Excruciating..

Instead, Janeane Garofalo!

[npincus]

21. I admire/ respect her but she is TERRIBLE on camera

eyes glued to the TelePrompter, speaking very slowly, heavily accented, monotone speech. If Arianna is serious about broadcast journalism, I'd advise her to work on accent reduction with a speech therapist-- this is what hundreds of aspiring broadcasters, performers have done. It is quite common, in fact.

[davidpdx]

22. I have no problem with Ariana Huffington

except that I find her voice annoying.

[Rydz777]

23. I remember very well when Arianna was a big Republican

hostess, holding soirees for Newt Gingrich and the like. So she has seen the light, but maybe she just has the ability to square circles.

[ksoze]

24. Zsa Zsa Gabor with a brain

She is not camera friendly as the host and would need some work to lead a TV show. As a guest she is better as a blogger she is great. It was painful to watch her in the clip I saw and Bill Mahar was kind to her.
